GARTH ALEXANDER DICKIE – NOVEMBER 16, 1935 TO JUNE 15, 2018

Garth Alexander Dickie, 82, passed away peacefully June 15th, 2018 at his residence at Ridgeview Lodge Care Facility. He was surrounded by his loving family. Garth was born in Chilliwack to Charles and Gladys in 1935. They moved to Kamloops in 1950, and soon after to Heffley Creek, where he remained until 2015 when he moved back to Kamloops. Garth was a long-time employee at Balco Industries, and ended his career building core boxes at Robertson Manufacturing. He loved his family, fishing, hunting, woodwork, fastball and hockey. He spent many years at Bonaparte Lake, completing projects for his wife Yvonne, and other long term residents. He was an active member in many organizations, including the Heffley Creek Water Works Association and the Community Association. He was also instrumental in building the softball fields, skating rink, and community hall in Heffley Creek. Garth is survived by his wife of sixty-one years Yvonne, by his children Teresa (Ray), Dy-Anna (Wayne), James (Rae-Anne), Glenna (David), Wayne (Marilyn), Angela (Steve) and his ten Grandchildren, twelve Great-Grandchildren and one Great-Great-Grandchild. He also leaves behind his two brothers Terry (Thelma) and Dale (Debbie). We all have many fond memories and stories of Garth/Dad/Poppa and will love and miss him terribly. The family will host a gather later this year to celebrate his memory, but in the meantime Garth would smile and laugh if everyone would raise a beer on his behalf. Garth’s family would like to thank Dr. Sigalet and all the caregivers at Ridgeview for the wonderful care the provided for him the last three years.
